As a
green tea lover, I always thought it would be difficult to make a green tea
cake. However, after prolonged experiments, my creamy green tea cheese cake
recipe was a success. If you’re craving for something sweet, yet low on calories,
then this recipe should work for you! And it’s healthy too!

Here is a fruit salad recipe which I made sometimes ago. It is officially fall. But here in Singapore, still it is hot during the day time and cannot resist having something cold. I used few fruits and as the main ingredient, I used kiwi. Unfortunately I didn’t have any fruit with red colour. If so,I could make this fruit salad more colourful.

It is too hot here. There is nothing better than a cold
snack or a drink in a hot summer day. I gathered few of my favourite summer
treats here, some are summer desserts and some are frozen treats. Most of these
summer treats are perfect to make with kids too.

Watalappan is an easy, sweet dessert
from Sri Lanka. It is one of the most popular desserts and has become one of the
must have desserts in any special occasion including a wedding. Anyway, once
searching for details, I found that this dessert has a Malay origin and the Sri
Lankan Malay community calls it as ‘Sirikaya’.Kaya is something familiar for me
here in Singapore. I’ve tried kaya toast which is toasted bread with
kaya jam. So far I didn’t check what kaya is or how to make it. Interestingly, kaya
is a jam made of coconut and egg. This watalappan pudding is also a result of
coconut and egg steamed with jaggery.Sometimes it is interesting to know a bit of the history of food,isn't it?

Caramel Pudding is a very popular dessert in Sri Lanka. But,
it is not purely Sri Lankan. This is an easy dessert popular among most people
around the world. Even it has different names like cream Caramel, Caramel Flan,
Custard Pudding or Caramel Pudding. I’ve seen a lot of recipes for Caramel
Pudding. Most recipes require 5 eggs for the same ingredients and quantities. However,
I used only 3 eggs, also I didn’t use water. For the custard, I added sugar, you
can remove it if it is too sweet. Anyway I am not a big fan of sweet treats. Still
I didn’t feel this pudding is too sweet. I really don’t like to try desserts
when I feel that I have to wash a lot of utensils or when I am unsure of
achieving the best appearance and taste. For the below recipe, I am sure even a
kid can achieve a good tasting Caramel Pudding without much effort.

This is a really easy & simple dessert and reminds me
Sri Lankan curd & treacle. In Sri Lanka, Curd with Treacle is a signature
dessert which most people love to eat. The Southern part of Sri Lanka is more
popular to produce high quality curd. If you travel Sri Lanka, don’t forget to
try Sri Lankan Curd & Treacle!

fruit salad. This is a very simple & easy recipe which can be served as a
drink or as a dessert.

I am back with a recipe for Valentine’s day. It is too early to post recipes for Valentine’s day, but I feel bit lazy to start work after a holiday in Sri Lanka. This is a simple recipe using Guava and Agar Agar.

I brought some Guava (Pera)from Sri Lanka and want to utilize them in different recipes other than eating them raw. These small guavas taste much than the bigger sized one.

Agar-agar is another form of gelatin.It is a great way to create easy & colourful desserts. However Agar Agar has a firm texture when compared with jelly. Interesting fact is, it is derived from seaweed & considered as vegetarian. Any fruit or any flavour can be used with Agar Agar to make a delicious dessert. There are so many recipes & ideas.

This is a really interesting & refreshing salad. These days I have few Pomegranates at home. So I try to use them in different recipes. This fruit salad only includes Orange, Pear & Pomegranate. Honey Yogurt dressing gave a delicious taste.

Sago is with full of starch or carbohydrates, but low in fat, protein or other vitamins. It is good when you are sick as it boosts energy & easy to digest. In Sri Lanka, sago is used as a herbal remedy to treat ailments resulting from body heat. This sago dessert is from Sri Lanka and it is good to have time to time to cool the body.

However in Sri Lankan traditional sago dessert does not include fruit juices. I tried it with fruit juices as an experiment and it was a success.

Here is the recipe

Ingredients( 4-5 servings)

1 cup Sago pearls

2 cups Water

1 cup Thick coconut milk

3 tbspn Sugar or as per taste (I use less sugar)

1 cup Fruit juice/puree of choice (optional)

Method

Heat water in a pan.

Add sago pearls & bring to boil.

Remember to stir continuously to avoid sticking sago at the bottom of the pan.

Once sago is boiled, add thick coconut milk & stir.

Add sugar to taste.

Adjust water if you want it thinner.

Serve hot or chilled.

Above recipe gives a plain sago dessert like this.

However I tried adding fruit flavour to it.

After cooking plain sago, pour it into few bowls & mix with fruit juices. I mixed each portion with mango puree & water melon juice

Adding fruit juice not only gave the flavour, it gave a very colorful dessert too.
